BLACK MARBLE ONE EYE OPEN

LA-based synth wave project Black Marble (aka Chris Stewart) has found a new home in esteemed left-field label Sacred Bones for the arrival of his highly anticipated third album Bigger Than Life. Blowing us away with a series of intricate layers of beautifully bleating electronics, lead track 'One Eye Open' touches on elements of Metronomy, Ariel Pink and even Kraftwerk's best work, whilst creating a completely current darkness-steeped realm of his own. Shedding light on the track Stewart explained, "'One Eye Open' is loosely based on the visual metaphor of a high wire artist in a three ring circus who elicits ooh and aahs from the crowd, but after awhile starts to perform with one eye open as they grow restless." Bigger Than Life will arrive on the 25th October and to be honest with you it couldn't come sooner. -Holly Mullineaux
